Scottish Highlands campaign has raised two-thirds of £300,000 target for footpaths on An Teallach. But more is needed to protect people and environment

01/06/2024

Its been a real privilege to be involved in this campaign as the principle contractor.

The campaign is a vital way to raise funds for essential upland footpath works. Long before the current spate of peatland restoration repairs were being carried out, small specialist teams were repairing and building mountain footpaths to prevent erosion, repair damaged land and control water run off.
We very, very rarely use machines, all the work is by hand with blood, sweat and sometimes tears spilt, in the harshest conditions all year around

I have said it many times, we do not do this job to make walking easier, although that is a happy benefit of our work, we do this to repair the damage all those boots and bikes have caused and to try and provide a long lasting solution.
So if you are a user of these delicate landscapes, and they are delicate, please donate if you can.

We cant wait to return after the summer to get stuck in again! Watch this space.
